LA Knight WWE update: The popular WWE Superstar, widely known as The Megastar, is facing uncertainty regarding his comeback to Monday Night RAW. Knight has not appeared on WWE television since The Vision removed him from action during an episode of the red brand last month, and fans, along with industry analysts, are questioning both the timing and reasons behind his absence.
The 43-year-old, whose energetic persona has earned him a devoted following as one of WWE’s most beloved babyfaces, was the subject of speculation after a report from Bodyslam hinted that his return could be slated for the January 5 episode of RAW. This news initially sparked hope among supporters, eager to witness Knight’s comeback as the new year unfolds.
Insider Report Suggests Knight Is Taking Time Away from WWE
Contrary to early reports of a swift return, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select provided a different perspective in a recent edition of Select Answers. According to Sapp, LA Knight is currently stepping away from WWE programming and is not expected back imminently. The report also clarified that there is no known injury keeping Knight from the ring, conflicting with any theories that his absence is due to physical setbacks.
Further complicating matters, Sapp commented that WWE’s Stamford-based leadership is presently struggling to determine the best approach for Knight’s next storyline. While Knight previously held the WWE United States Championship, the current pause in his appearances seems more connected to creative direction than personal health.
LA Knight Discusses Concerns About Fan Support Amid Losses
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his career at present, Knight remains a significant figure among WWE fans. Supporters have consistently backed him, even as he endured repeated losses and yet to claim a world championship title. During a recent appearance on RAW Recap, Knight addressed questions about whether he fears a decline in fan enthusiasm due to his setbacks in the ring.
“The only time I think about that is when I let the people down when I lose. When the three is getting counted against me, you start to think, at what point will the people maybe start to lose faith and just go, ‘Ah, man, dammit. We like this guy. We want this to happen, but it’s just not gonna happen. So in that case, I think about that certainly. But at the same time, I really get on myself to not think about that and try and focus on not thinking about missing the shot but always thinking about how I’m going to make the shot,” Knight said.
